Hi all


I am using .NET reflection to examine a stack trace, using the StackTrace,
StackFrame, MethodInfo, ParameterInfo and FieldInfo classes.

I can easily discover all methods in the call chain and discover their
parameter names and types.

What I would like to do is also know the values that were passed to the
method parameters for the current instance. I would think this should be
possible, because that info must be somewhere in the stack trace, right ?

I felt I was getting somewhere by using the FieldInfo.GetValue() method, but
I just can't seem to get it to work. It looks like the GetValue method only
gets values for class properties and such, but not function parameters.

Does anyone have any tips ?

Thanx !

(AFAIK) this is only possible when using a debugger.
